Chandigarh, August 23

In a jolt to the UT police, the Court of Additional Sessions Judge Rajesh Sharma has allowed bail to an accused facing an attempt-to-murder charge. The bail was granted to the accused on the basis of a medical report, which mentions that the injuries allegedly suffered by the victim are simple in nature.

The police had registered a case against Aman Tripathi and others on the statement of Chandwati, a resident of Colony No. 4. She had alleged that around six persons - Ghutnu, Golu, Raja Bihari, Ranjit, Aman Tripathi and Kuldeep - attacked her son on the head with iron rods and sticks in Colony No.4 and fled from the spot. She got her son admitted to the GMCH in Sector 32.

Accordingly, an FIR was registered against the suspects under Sections 307, 147, 148 and 149 of the IPC at the Industrial Area police station. The police arrested Aman on June 7 this year.

The counsel for Aman claimed that he had been falsely implicated in the case and he had no relation with the offence mentioned in the FIR. He said as per the doctor's report, injuries suffered by the victim were simple in nature.

After hearing the arguments, the Judge allowed bail to the accused saying he was in judicial custody since June 7. He was no more required by the police for investigation or interrogation.

"It is apparent on record that the injuries allegedly suffered by the victim were simple in nature. Therefore, it is a question of debate as to whether the offence punishable under Section 307 of the IPC is made out against the accused or not. Without commenting on the merits of the case, the bail application of Aman Tripathi is allowed on furnishing a bail bond of Rs50,000," the Judge said in the order.

Meanwhile, two other accused in the case were also granted bail on similar grounds.
